Ebook: Genetics & Hearing Loss

For clinical researchers in audiology and otolaryngology, this fifth book in the Kresge- Mirmelstein Award series features the proceedings of the 1998 symposium. The book includes contributions from leading researchers on genetic causes of hearing loss and includes a CD-ROM containing audio and video footage from a Balinese village with a large genetically deaf population that have adopted a sign language indigenous to their culture. The CD-ROM also features samples of American Sign Language and Cued Speech. In the tradition of Berlin's previous work this book presents stunning new and evocative information for both researchers and clinicians.
